Ohio’s problems with human trafficking cannot be understated, with 9 out of 10 children who run away from home finding themselves involved in the sex trafficking industry. Another damning fact is that the average age for children to enter the sex trafficking industry is just 13 years old. While a taskforce has been created and awareness is being spread regarding the human trafficking industry, Ohio still has a long, long way to go.
